Answer:
Empirical formula for [tex]C_{2}H_{6}[/tex] is [tex]CH_{3}[/tex]
Explanation:
Empirical formula of a molecule contains symbol of all constituent atoms along with their lowest possible stoichiometric coefficient.
In [tex]C_{2}H_{6}[/tex], stoichiometric coefficients of C and H are 2 and 6 respectively.
We can write this formula as - [tex](CH_{3})_{2}[/tex]
So clearly the lowest possible stoichiometric coefficients of C and H would be 1 and 3 respectively.
So empirical formula is [tex]CH_{3}[/tex]
